Tastes

Was drinking a few of these as chasers at happy hour and while there were sips where it had a nice cereal tone for the most part it was ruff as a dog.

There is quite a strong spirit element to this one. The nose is somehow chemical but the palate (underneath the young spirit taste) is surprisingly balanced. There is citrus a plenty, sweet notes and bitter brine. Very different to any other glendronach with much less sherry. Good value for money

This is very good! Just the right mix between a smooth Taketsuru and Nikka Coffey grain. The malts start smooth and then the sweetness from the grain rushes in and takes over before giving way to an incredibly long spicy finish. This is a fun whisky!

Very easy drinking. The peat is a little lighter than I would like but the underlying flavours compensate nicely for a very balanced sweet and woody finish

Perfectly pleasant and worth a try. On the nose you get vanilla and strawberry jam and the palate is sweet, spicy and very rich. Most dominant are caramel, sherry and then dark chocolate. Packs a punch too at 48%, so enjoyable to experiment with adding some water to open it up

Pretty bland not unpleasant

A solid, full flavour whisky. There is a lot to this and it is well put together but not for me only because I picked up many tastes I don't really like (Fry's Turkish Delight and Buckfast!) well worth a try of you are after something sweeter and different

This one is curled up tight like a hedgehog until you add a good bit of water but then it reveals an incredible vanilla custard crumble followed by a dollop of heat. Quite unique, a natural and somehow sophisticated taste compared to smoke and sherry bombs

Really nicely balanced.

Lovely sweetness to the nose and initial taste of aniseed and vanilla. Quickly flips to spicy, leathery and woody crescendo before a warm finish. This has much more personality than the 10 year but needs to be savoured slowly to fully appreciate the levels
